Re: [zenhorsemanship] Ups and Downs. . mostly downs

I know it's hard. But, try to remember that C/T is pressure too. The
pressure to succeed sometimes that the horse puts on itself until the steam
vent blows.

For Grace, what's rewarding that isn't pressure. Think in those terms. So
far, we have taking off all pressure as in giving distance or one can think
of it as space.

In retrospect which is usually where we find the 20/20, do you thing she had
begun to bottle up at the point of headlowering? Really take a look at that
moment. And, even try it again. Just the headlowering part.

See if you don't see some bottleing up of emotion. Now, take a look at it
from the CAT perspective of allowing therelease of the emotional pressure.

Tell us more about the CAT event and the headlowering event. During the head
lowering, did you see any tension in any part of her body. And, this may
seem like a silly question. But, was she cheerful? If you think yes,
describe it in physical terms. What did you see.

Dolores
